Familiarity with project scheduling tools (Smartsheet, MS Project, Primavera P6, or similar)

Working knowledge of the energy transition landscape

Willing to travel as needed (10-30%)

Detail-oriented with strong organizational skills; able to track many moving pieces across multiple projects simultaneously without dropping the ball

Strong written and verbal communication skills

Eager to learn the specifics of nuclear project development, regulatory processes, and energy infrastructure; prior knowledge is a plus but not required
